no they cant end big brother

[DigitalSid]

To be fair, if it doesn't improve this year. There will be no point continuing it. But axeing it rather than fixing it is NOT the answer.

[30stone]

Can't say im not surprised.

[Scarlett.]

We all knew this news would eventually come, its quite a tired format, but it had its good years

And hopefully, if it gets picked up by sky or five, it will continue to have it's good years. With a broadcaster that wants it, not one that's lumbered with it.

[Scarlett.]

Aye, perhaps they'd revamp it finally

[Glenn.]

We can't really take this as concrete proof. It is The Sun we're talking about. But I think BB has had it run to be honest. There's no point dragging out the inevitable, we knew it was coming, and I have to agree with the 'Producer', it would of been nice to end the show on this series.
Until we have solid confirmaton from C4 however, I will take this with a pinch of salt. Although we do know the contract is ending next year so there may be some truth in it.

[Scarlett.]

The quote pretty much says they are commisioned to do one more, but they would have liked to end at 10 instead

You never know!! it could be a good thing having an end date to work towards!! ::



Take 'Lost' for example, Season 1 great, season 2 good, season 3 & 4 pointless,

Get's an end date. (between 4th & 5th season)

Season 5 great again!!::

PS. check out my new eye for BB10!!

They're quoting Angela Jain, who's in charge of Big Brother at C4, not some random, un-named insider and The Sun are pretty reliable with their pre-BB news anyway. They had Rex, the blind housemate and the black van entries last year confirmed before anyone else.

Channel five will bid for it.. They can show spin-offs and live feed on fiver.. There is still a demand for the show!

Thing is.. as someone pointed out I think on D.S., channel 4 may have a clause in the contract stopping other channels taking it on for a year or two after they stop airing it.. in which case, interest could wane from the other channels.

[Harry!]

Am a surprised. Anyway it is from The Sun/Daily Star which are very untrustworthy papers.

[Arneldo]

We all knew they had a contract to do until BB11, and after that they will decide weather or not they want to bring it back after that.

[Spike]

Its too early to make a decision, anything can with the ratings in the next 2 years which could easily reverse the decision
I can easily see Five of ITV picking it up on the cheap

[Zac]

I'm not really surprised, tbh. I hope it takes a year or two off then move to another broadcaster, such as ITV.

[Ruth*Star]

It's a tired format, It needs a break really, a few years break. Then come back with a fresh format.
I didn't bother with BB last year because it was packed with people i couldn't like, no likeable people.
The last BB i've watched throughout and enjoyed was BB6

[amydropdead_x]

I agree, I think BB should have a few years break then make a comeback with improvements and a new format!
I didn't really watch it last year, and usually I'm really into it

i agree with you on the fact it's still to early to decide, BB10 could be the best series ever, very unlikly but still, then they might keep it. I hope they get a new contract.

Hang on
Ch4 have not confirmed this yet.

[pinkmichk]

we all know its gonna end at one point or the other and i'm sure this figure isnt a new date i agree it needs a break for a couple of years they should do it every 2 years or even every 4 years to build it to be better

[xDramatick]

i don't think i will miss it that much.
it has to end sometime.

[NettoSuperstar!]

Theyve been doing auditions...tabloid shite again! must have been running out of stories!

[Tom]

If its true then I don't think its the end of BB by a long shot ... if BB isn't picked up by a smaller channel (or even ITV with the trouble they're in) then I'll be in shock. If Big Brother itself doesn't come back, I can guarantee that a show with the same format will air.
